To what extent provisions of food adulteration Act is applicable to trial of food safety Act?

 Even though the said Act in fact incorporates various provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, the said Act has not expressly superseded the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. By applying Section 89 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, it has to be construed that the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and the Rules made there under will continue to have operation in so far as its provisions are not inconsistent with the Food Safety and Standards Act. 2006. {Para 46}
